'W' is a descendant of more than one president. Can you name another one other than his daddy?

Satan not ever having been president does not exclude him from having been one of 'W's' ancestors.

I'll guess Herbert Hoover. He was a weasel too, wasn't he?

Well, so far I've found this: Quote: |
George H. W. Bush: fourth cousin five times removed of Millard Fillmore, fifth cousin four times removed of Franklin Pierce, seventh cousin four times removed of Abraham Lincoln, sixth cousin five times removed of Ulysses Grant, sixth cousin three times removed of Rutherford Hayes, fourth cousin three times removed of James Garfield, seventh cousin twice removed of Grover Cleveland, seventh cousin three times removed of Theodore Roosevelt (also eighth cousin twice removed of Eleanor Roosevelt, a niece of Theodore), sixth cousin three times removed of William Taft, sixth cousin twice removed of Calvin Coolidge, tenth cousin of Herbert Hoover, sixth cousin three times removed of Franklin Roosevelt, ninth cousin four times removed of Richard Nixon, seventh cousin of Gerald Ford. Note that these relationships then also apply to George W. Bush, each an additional generation removed. SOURCE |

I wasn't aware our presidents were getting so inbred. Explains the ears, though.

Considering the small population pool of original "colonists" it kind of makes sense as the only people we allow to be presidents are naturally born. The wave of immigration from the turn of the center resulted in naturally born citizens who were not from monied families... very few presidents in our history can lay claim to that Poor kid raised in a tenement or farm that was the lineage of early 20th century immigrants.
